Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 129
It was raining on the day I went to the mining site, and although the mine was not very far from town, the dirt roads had been walking for a good morning.
When I arrived at the mining site, the geographical location there was really aggrieved, not to mention the shady mine, there was only one road leading to the mine and it was not a big road. The surrounding woods have not been cut down, and the mine is hidden in a dense forest. There are really a lot of guards around the mine cave on this road.
A small river flowed down the mountain, and some people bent over the river and did not know what to do in the river.
"Who am I handing over?" I asked my attendants, and the fat guy was one of the stewards of Nafu who went first on the first day. It is estimated that I have to make a lot of oil and water to eat such fat.
"There's a guy named Moyse on the site, and she's the overseer." The fat steward said.
"She?"
"That's right. She. ”
I didn't go any further, but the word did surprise me. If she doesn't think she's a woman or a real transsexual, it's probably not hard to explain why she came to me. "Was there a riot some time ago?" We had bypassed the fence and were almost near the pit.
"A few times." He said. "It's not too much of a problem, but the master is angry." He emphasized the word angry.
"Have you ever died?" I didn't care how angry he was.
"Dead...... I guess I've died. I'm not very sure. "Isn't he afraid of scaring me?
This guy doesn't seem to be able to ask much useful questions, and I can't say exactly what is wrong, but from the tone in which he always wants to speak, I feel that he must have lied to me about a lot of things.
Building site...... When I got closer, I was a little distracted by the memories of the past, especially when I saw the emaciated, dirty workers half-dead carrying materials and earth.
The mine is not very large, and it seems that it can only accommodate a dirt truck coming out of it. The open space in front of the entrance is very small, estimated to be a square area of thirty or forty meters. Two small thatched huts were built in the open space, and a large umbrella was propped up in front of the house, under which was a strong black man.
"Is she Moïse?" I asked.
"He's not Moïse, Moïse is a woman." He said.
"Gender or biological?"
The fat steward smiled, "A woman who is like a fake." ”
Sure enough, it's a woman! A woman in this kind of place! In this place full of men!
The fat black man stepped forward. "You're going to pick the time." He said.
"It is better to rain than to wind, so as not to be afraid." The fat steward did not get off his horse. "Mr. Bill, this is Oakes, Moïse's deputy." He stretched out his hand to introduce me.
I looked at him, and he looked at me. The rain slid down his bulging muscles, and his swarthy skin and thick arms told me that maybe he was a very strong guy.
"Take me to Moyse." I say.
When I walked into the mine, I was stunned by the sight inside! I originally thought this was a cave, but when I went inside, I found that this is not only a cave, but also that you can see the outside of the sky.
On the outside, you won't feel like a big deal on the inside, but once you're on the inside, it's a small world! They built houses and even smelting factories. There were a lot of workers inside, as were the guards.
On a small mound, a handsome-looking woman stood on it, staring at me. She should be Moïse.
"Welcome, Mr. Bill." When I got closer, I saw that this woman's face was really ugly, especially her cow-like nose made me ...... Well, and there was a clear sense of arrogance and arrogance between her eyebrows. Can such a woman be liked by a man...... All of a sudden, I deserted.
I nodded and bowed.
"Great work! I'll show you around here. She just said a polite word to me!
Although I don't accept the length, this woman has said a lot more than the fat man. There are two shareholders of this mine, and the big one is Lord Barov, whom I am familiar with. I only heard that Barov has real estate in Nanhai Town, isn't that what it is?
And some time ago, there were two riots in a row among the workers here. During the second riot, the security captain was killed, and more than a dozen workers died. Looking at the yellow-skinned workers, I seemed to be able to guess why the riot was happening. And I'm supposed to be here to fill the gap of the dead security captain.
Looking at the attitude of this woman towards me, first I concluded that she didn't want to sleep with me, and second, I felt that she didn't take me seriously, maybe she didn't think I could stay here, or live.
I've been walking around the pit ever since I came here. Not just looking at the oppressed laborers, I'm also wondering what could happen to something else.
The place was very humid and I didn't sleep much that night. I couldn't stand a long bug crawling out of my bed.
There will be no downtime at night. After the first wave of workers rests, the second wave of workers takes over, and they continue to mine and smelt. I kept walking among the workers, and they looked at me like monkeys.
The next night, I didn't hesitate to sneak back to Southsea to find Ralph.
"Where have you been for the past two days?"
"A mine I told you about the other day."
"I'm sure you've made a new discovery."
"Not only are there new discoveries, but I think you need to know more." I said solemnly. Ralph, hidden in the darkness, showed his face.
"Let's change places." With that, I went to the second floor.
Turned out Lord Isden's small tin box again. "These are secrets you don't know." As I spoke, I threw the journal to him. Then put a few letters I picked out on the table. "Take your time in a moment!"
Ralph looked at the diary with a puzzled look on his face. And after reading those letters, his face was clearly angry.
"I don't mean to be sarcastic, but you're protecting someone who wanted to kill you. Of course, you are not to blame. ”
"So he instigated our assassination in Lordaeron?"
"Including you being caught." I say. "But fortunately, you are an iron-clad man who did not give in." I don't know why I'm doing this sycophancy. "And this guy has a deep connection to the women around Fred." I put away the letters he had read.
"I really didn't expect an eyeliner to be planted next to Fry!"
"That woman is more than just an eyeliner!" I pouted.
"But what happened when Fred was killed with his woman?"
"I haven't fully figured it out yet, but I can conclude that Fred must have been killed by Easten. And the exact cause of Miss Eve's death is not yet certain. I have a feeling that the Lordaeron killed her. ”
"It doesn't make sense."
"Of course, Fred is a guy who has had frequent contact with the nobles of Lordaeron, and the letter makes it very clear." I pointed to the journal. "It is impossible to verify what criminal law Miss Eve has used, but I believe that there are countless ways in which people can confess without being beaten." I stared at Ralph, his frowning brow that seemed a little incredulous.
"And what are you doing here?"
"I'm going home!"
"Humph! You're going home! Oh my God, Bill! But I don't think you're here casually, what do you want? ”
"Get out of here, go far! I have an idea and need your help! ”
In the past few days since I came to the construction site, I have slowly gotten some news from them, and although I have not improved their lives, my attitude should be an important way to make them less hostile to me.
The day of the appointment with Ralph finally came, and instead of asking the cow-nosed woman for leave, he secretly ran down the mountain and returned to the town of Nanhai. I had to keep a low profile as much as possible and eliminate everything that could affect me.
"How's the preparation going?" I said as I looked at Ralph's droopy face.
"I need money, more money!" I don't like him frowning! It made me feel a little nervous.
"How many have you been looking for?"
"40." He said.
"Too little! Still have to find it! ”
"I don't have money to recruit a fart, I don't have any money!" He said.
"You contact first, and I'll make up the money for you!"
"You have to hurry, once the harvest starts in the fall, the price will double!"
That night I sent a letter to Lone Wolf asking for more money for me. I regretted it after I sent it out. Regardless of how much the lone wolf gives for the time being, will he think too much about me asking for money...... Let's hope there won't be any more associations.
"I need you to go to the actual combat drill tomorrow."
"That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I've scouted it!"
"Nope! I don't care how difficult that place is, you'll have to take someone to grab it tomorrow night. "I said." How much can you grab. I said.
He didn't speak, just nodded.
The next night, I waited for them to come in. In the early hours of the morning, when many of the guards were yawning and eager to fall asleep, the silence of the night was broken by shouts from outside.
They're coming!
Hiding from the sidelines, I watched as the bandits poured in from outside, and the startled guards hurriedly picked up their weapons. But I'm not in a hurry to get out and mix it up yet.
The workers worked deeper in the cave, but the laborers by the smelting furnace ran away as soon as they saw the bandits entering. The guards who rushed out of the houses didn't really do much, and some of them were shot down by an arrow as soon as they got out.
The guards fought with the bandits, and the cow-nosed woman rushed out in her nightgown. The fat black man beside her was holding two short swords and opening the bow left and right, desperately protecting the woman's thoughtfulness.
The bandits slaughtered the smelting furnace, and some of the bandits began to loot the gold that had already been smelted. I can't wait any longer! If you drag it any longer, it might be a problem, and it's time for me to perform!
Quietly blended into the crowd from one side, and then fought with the bandits. My eyes had been glancing at the woman, and her gaze hadn't seemed to leave me ever since I appeared in her field of vision.
My sword is very measured, and I will not stab the man in the vital place unless he is looking for death. But to make it look real, I stabbed three or four people to death in quick succession.
I stabbed a gold-snatcher with a sword, and when he fell, a pile of gold coins rolled out of his chest.
The gold coins that rolled to the ground caught the attention of the bandits, but the bandits finally saw me, the red cloth tied around my shoulders. They retreated! Hurriedly fleeing through the narrow hole.
The black fat man wanted to chase, and I shouted: "Stop chasing!" Beware of ambushes! He stopped. I glanced back at the woman, and her look made me feel sick.
